LBC's Adopt-a-playoff team: Western Conference
Now that the Second Season is upon us (well not "us", but you get the picture) the LBC community will need a playoff team to follow giving us something semi-productive to do between Tuesday's Draft Lottery/Drawing and the NHL Awards over the next eight weeks or so. Here's the deal: choose (1)...
The League of Extraordinary Statisticians: The Conferences
The League of Extraordinary Statisticians (LOES) is a weekly forum bringing together top analytical minds in the hockey world to answer a variety of questions that straddle the line between stats analysis and something you might hear floating around section 304. They have agreed to answer these...
Canucks' First Round Opponent Not Even Close To Being Decided
Are these good times or what? There are no guarantees on who the Canucks will play in round 1 of the playoffs until perhaps the last day of the regular season. It's about fair to assume the Canucks will finish in 3rd. With only 4 games left, and the maximum points that can be attained at 8, it's...
Dallas Stars face critical five game stretch
The Dallas Stars are 9-3-1 in their last thirteen games and have been able to crawl out of the basement of the Western conference standings. Unfortunately, the Stars are just 2-2-0 over their last four games and have dropped from fifth to seventh overnight. They've also lost a good bit of the...

This circus in Vancouver will finally come to an end whenever Luongo makes his return. In the meantime I anticipate seeing what Jason Labarbera...
Matt Cooke helps out Canucks / Slumps happen
Matt Cooke's 2 goals to help the Penguins beat the Ducks tonight actually did us a favor. It launched us one point up in the standings because the Ducks have now played the same amount of games as Vancouver but have scored less. Thanks Cooke! -The Devils beat the Blue Jackets to keep Columbus 3...
Canucks still sit in 7th spot / Pat Burns is one tough S.O.B.
Losses by the Blue Jackets, Avalanche and Ducks tonight have provided the Canucks with some fortune. They still barely hold on to 7th spot. That's insane considering that they have lost 6 games in a row and collected only 2 of a possible 12 points in those games. From what I can recall, some of...
Scoreboard watching on Tuesday night
